“These two volumes round up all of Hopkins' seminal recordings, all recorded for the Houston-based Gold Star label between 1947 and 1950 the majority are either definitive postwar Texas blues performances (even shades of Zydeco appear on `Zolo Go') or vividly reveal what Hopkins learned from Texas Alexander and other early influences.”

(Mike Joyce — The Washington Post)

“Every blues collection should include a selection of Lightning Hopkins' early sides and I suggest one, if not both, of these. This blues is just so good.”
